Fall 2015 Fit Girls Registration

Fall Fit Girls Registration Opens September 10 at 8am

The Fit Girls Run Club is an independent
running and reading program for Village School girls in 4th, 5th and 6th grades
that builds self-esteem and confidence, and helps girls connect with and give
back to their community.Girls progress at their own “just right” pace,
while also participating in our educational curriculum that includes topics
such as goal setting, self-esteem, confidence, teamwork, and more.The program is open and welcoming to all
girls and no prior running experience is necessary.

The bulk of the
program consists of non-competitive workouts designed to gradually and safely
build endurance to run or walk the 5k (3.1 mile) race distance.At the conclusion of the program the girls
participate in a 5k as they celebrate both fitness and community. The program
also aims to build self-esteem and confidence through the regular group
discussions, and promotes supportive and positive relationships among all
participants.It is important that all
participants are willing to work towards accomplishing a 5k fitness goal! For
the program to work, participants need to be excited and motivated.Please have a conversation with your daughter
before registering to ensure this is a choice and commitment she would like to
make.

PROGRAM DETAILS:

When:The Marblehead group
will meet Tuesday and Thursday from 2:45-4:00PM from October 6-November
17.We meet rain or shine.There is no Fit Girls if there is no
school.The curriculum and training are
much more beneficial and meaningful when girls are committed to attending both
days so 2 day participation will be mandatory.If there are more than 3 unexcused absences, future participation will
be reviewed.

Where: We meet in the
Village cafeteria and train on the track and on the sidewalks around Village.

collaborating with SPUR (www.spur.community) for a Fit Girls day of service on
November 21.
